Think it’s another last 16 exit. They’re not very good but we are also shit.

Andre Silva is in had form but he is a good player and I can see him scoring against us.

Suso, Cutrone and Bonaventura are their dangermen but I am not too afraid of them tbh.

The battle between whose midfield is less shit will be integral imo, with Montolivo and Xhaka the stalwarts lol.

Bonucci and Romagnoli have improved under Gattuso, so let’s see.

Welbeck will also be playing ffs can this get any worse.

Gattuso is also a hungry, fresh young manager, that seems to at least know how to get the best out his players if he isn’t some kind of tactical mastermind. He could easily out-think Wenger in this tie.

Just need to make sure we do enough not to lose the tie at the San siro. But we will be playing in that infernal blue kit so that’s it. Hope they have the pitch sorted out at least.

Fucking UEFA always giving us such shit draws while Sporting get Plzen in the filth tie ffs.

AC Milan’s sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli says he feels sorry for Arsenal after they were paired with the Italian giants in the Europa League last sixteen.

Predicting the Rossoneri will progress at the expense of Arsene Wenger’s side, Mirabelli underlined his confidence by suggesting the Gunners were the perfect opponents. Anybody who watched us last night might be inclined to agree.

“I’m sorry for Arsenal, who I’m sure would have liked to have continued in Europe,” said Mirabelli after the draw.

“It would have been a nice final, but I’m happy. It’s best to face a big club like Arsenal now. We needed opponents like these.”

Edit: Also, I really don’t understand the point in statements like those. They’re needlessly antagonistic and if anything will only just galvanise the opposing players into showing the other team up. If anything, that’s fired me up for this game now even though I was pretty uninterested before. Should we win, that guy is going to look like a major cunt with egg on his face and if they do win, what’s he gained from making a statement like that?
